So sorry baby1 you are ways welcome here much love xx

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Baby I am so sorry, I can't imagine what you are going through. I am sending you huge hugs and both you and DH are in my thoughts.

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Panda, Hadley is absolutely gorgeous!

Plastik, beautiful scan!

Lotus, glad to hear you are feeling better, I am SO ready to enter the second trimester. Also, did I read previously that you are planning on having a home birth? Just curious...

Morebabies: Is your scan tomorrow? Very exciting! I can't wait to see how baby has grown.

Hope everyone else is well.

Things with me are pretty good, still tired and feeling a bit icky but nothing too serious. My first appointment with my midwife was last week, which was amazing. Heard the baby's heartbeat again, which was 140. My next scan is on February 6!

 

[more babies]

Yup! Have my scan today in a little over 3 hours from now! Excited and nervous. I think once I get this scan out of the way I'll be able to relax a bit more. And after this scan we will be telling everyone so it'll be nice to have it out in the open.

Has anyone else had trouble sleeping?? I don't know what to do anymore. I find it so hard to sleep at night and I'm just exhausted!

Looking forward to seeing your scan on the 6th Mrs. Eddie!!

Mrs Eddie glad your approaching your second Trimester that's when I started feeling much better. Yes I am planning a home birth and plan to have a pool for pain relief and gas and air but not sure about having baby in the pool. My home birth midwife already come to see me and she great. I am 5 mins away from hospital if need be but I will give it a go lol!

More Babies I suffered from insomnia on and off in my first Tri I would wake up and 4am and not be able to get back to sleep but it was not every night and now sometimes happens but not as often. I was real sleepy at that time.

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Good luck Morebabies! I know that your scan will be fabulous and can't wait to see the photos! It will also be great for you tell everyone; I bet your girls will be so excited!

Lotus, I am excited for the first trimester to be over but can't believe that I am already at that stage, time seems to be flying by; I can't believe you are almost half way through your pregnancy!

Also, you are my hero for doing a home birth. My midwife asked if I wanted to consider one and I am way too much of a wuss I think. I know people who have had natural births and recovered really quickly and loved the experience, which makes me want to consider it, just not sure if I could do it. The birthing suite that I will be in at the hospital apparently has whirlpool tubs so I definitely plan on utlizing that for part of my labour.

I get awful insomnia - Not helped by the fact I work night shifts on Delivery Suite so get home and my head is absolutely buzzing then sleep and sleep and sleep then can't sleep that night if I am not at work. Then on days off I can't sleep till Lord knows what time and then can't get up.

Hello!
How is everyone doing? I think I've caught up with everything

Justme: How are you babe, you haven't been posting much! Hope everything is going well

I'm just about ready to pop now, c section has been bought forwards so I now have 3 sleeps until baby Shrimpy arrives!! Very exciting!! Making all the plans for D-Day has made it all seem a hell of a lot more real. I made his little bed up today, it looks so teeny and cute

I'll probably not get chance to pop on here too much until I'm back from hospital now. I'll post photos when I get home

Love to everyone!!

I've been wondering how you are and slightly dreading you posting baby photos cos then I'm next
Also tummy is starting to get bigger almost every day it seems, am starting to worry when it will stop! :-/ :O
How exciting for 3 days though! It will be nice to see photos, regardless of it unnerving me too ;-) I finish work next Friday and really need Boo to wait until at least 38 weeks as we have to move into our front bedroom before she turns up and I have No chance of sorting that until I'm done with work.

Good luck hugs!!!

 

[justmeinlove]

Heh and if panda hasn't, maybe you can set up our refugees section in the baby club ;-)

 

[nimbec]

Hi all

Good luck IOW look forward to hearing all about it and seeing your pics!!

Hi Justneinlove I know the feeling it's all coming fast now! I get my c section date on Wednesday and as I don't have much amniotic fluid (poor bubs) it could be anytime from 33 weeks...very scary!!!!

Sorry I've not been around I was in early labour last week thankfully stopped now but have jut been trying to relax.

Love the idea of refugees in baby club!!

Moire babies good luck and look forward to seeing photos!

Noo I'm really struggling with sleep if I do actually get to sleep I wake up every 1.30 hrs by horrid pains in hips and back - ten have to go to the loo! So sleep is pretty rare at the moment

Hope everyone is ok!

Hi ladies!

Just a quick update from me..... my waters just broke!!! Eeeek! It's 2am and hubby has gone back to bed, I'm going to try and wait for a more sensible hour to phone my midwife, I've had no contractions yet. If they turn up and get bad I'll phone her and head to the hospital... don't want to miss my chance of a section!!!

Justme: You're next!! hehe!

 

[nimbec]

Eeeek good luck Hun!!!! Update us when you can - hope all goes well and to plan!

[plastikpony]

Eeek!!! Good luck hunny!!!

 

[flamingpanda]

Good luck iow_bird! Can't wait to read your next update.

BTW I haven't made another thread yet but am happy to join one. Perhaps given current happenings iow should be the one to do it when she returns?

 

[plastikpony]

Hi Ladies!!

Haven't made an update in a while, but its mostly because we were offline the WHOLE of last week, and on top of that not much is going on. I'm getting bigger by the day, and more uncomfortable. In a good way, if that makes any sense? I do enjoy being pregnant! I have constant SPD ache though, which is livable but annoying, and the need to pee (specifically at night) means less sleep. Although sleep decided to elude me completely last night, and when I do sleep its filled with these vivid dreams that make me feel like I didn't get any sleep anyway

We're doing our Maternity Shoot on Wednesday which I'm quite excited about. Nothing too fancy, or expensive, just a photographer friend with a studio but I'm still hoping the pics come out nicely. We decided to do 32 weeks because I don't want to feel like a hippo when I look back at the pics, and besides I'm already pretty large

Also have our 32 week scan on Wednesday morning, so I reckon Wednesday is going to be a fun day

Nimbec, how crazy! Any time from 33 weeks? How are you feeling?

JustMe, how you doing hun? Nearly finished with work, right? SO jealous, I wish I could just go home and never come back.

Iow, hope you doing well hun!

Panda, I can't believe your LO is 12 weeks already!! We need some updated pics!!

Noo, how are you feeling?

MoreBabies, how is life treating you?

 

[more babies]

Wow Iow thats so exciting!! Good luck and can't wait to see pictures!!!

I've been so busy lately so haven't had much time to update but here we go.. in general I think I would feel pretty good if I could just get enough sleep at night. I fall right to sleep then wake up a little later to go the bathroom and after that sometimes I am never able to fall back to sleep. Its just getting really old and I just want to sleep! But aside from that I had my ultrasound on Friday. Little one didn't want to cooperate and kept his/her back to us for more then half the appointment. So I had to do a lot of moving around and finally got a better angle but never a full profile or any really good shots like I had hoped. Also little one was sucking its thumb the whole time. But there was lots of movement so that was great to see. Baby was measuring consistent with my 9 week ultrasound so that was good so my due date is officially moved to August 9th. My last two came early though so I don't anticipate making it till that date though. My next scan is March 11th and we should be able to find out the gender as long as someone decides to be a little more cooperative! Anyways, here's two decent pictures that I did get..
